- Overcoming chemical barriers: a new species of Rhabdias (Nematoda: Rhabdiasidae) from Dendrobates tinctorius (Anura: Dendrobatidae) in the Brazilian Amazon.
Tavares-Costa LFS, Ribeiro TP, Jesus RF et al. · Parasitology · 2026-01 · open access
The nematode genus Rhabdias comprises over 100 species of parasitic nematodes that infect amphibians and reptiles, with a wide geographical distribution. To date, 25 species have been reported from the Neotropical region. Despite this diversity, few integrative studies, combining morphological and…
- Defensive coloration is not a reliable indicator of fungal infection in aposematic poison frogs.
Schlippe Justicia L, Dittrich C, Nokelainen O et al. · Behavioral ecology : official journal of the International Society for Behavioral Ecology · 2025-11 · open access
The expression of visual signals such as coloration can be altered by parasitic or pathogenic infections through multiple pathways, including resource reallocation, impaired tissue structure, and reduced pigment acquisition. These effects may compromise the functions of coloration and overall…
- Why not both? A case study in measuring cortisol and corticosterone.
Westrick SE, Paitz RT, Fischer EK · Integrative organismal biology (Oxford, England) · 2025-11 · open access
Introduction The ability to measure physiology non-invasively in the lab and in the wild is key for behavioral ecologists and conservation biologists seeking to understand animal behavior in a changing world. Glucocorticoids—most commonly cortisol and corticosterone produced by the adrenal or…
- Early development of the glucocorticoid stress response in dyeing poison frog tadpoles.
Surber-Cunningham LL, Jimenez LS, Mobo LW et al. · General and comparative endocrinology · 2025-06 · open access
- Phenotypic divergence across populations does not affect habitat selection in an Amazonian poison frog
Martin Mayer, Lia Schlippe Justicia, Bibiana Rojas · Global Ecology and Conservation · 2024-12 · open access
In polytypic species, where distinct variants occur in separate populations, few studies to date have quantified intraspecific differences in habitat selection. This can inform us about habitat requirements across different areas and populations, with implications for conservation, and can increase…

- Intraspecific divergence of sexual size dimorphism and reproductive strategies in a polytypic poison frog
Lia Schlippe Justicia, Martin Mayer, Ugo Lorioux-Chevalier et al. · Evolutionary Ecology · 2023-12 · open access
Abstract Intraspecific variation in body size, both among populations and between sexes, is an important factor influencing life-history strategies. This variation might be the response to different environmental conditions, as well as natural and sexual selection, and can result in differences in…
- Visual environment of rearing sites affects larval response to perceived risk in poison frogs.
Fouilloux CA, Stynoski JL, Yovanovich CAM et al. · The Journal of experimental biology · 2023-06
- Linking Predator Responses to Alkaloid Variability in Poison Frogs.
Lawrence JP, Rojas B, Blanchette A et al. · Journal of chemical ecology · 2023-03
- Poison frog dietary preference depends on prey type and alkaloid load.
Moskowitz NA, D'Agui R, Alvarez-Buylla A et al. · PloS one · 2022-12 · open access
Introduction Animals must make efficient use of available food to satisfy their energetic and nutritional demands that are necessary for day-to-day function, reproduction, and survival. Optimal foraging theory predicts that organisms forage to maximize fitness by reducing the energetic costs…
- Noninvasive Detection of Chemical Defenses in Poison Frogs Using the MasSpec Pen.
Krieger AC, Povilaitis SC, Gowda P et al. · ACS measurement science au · 2022-08 · open access
- Size-dependent aggression towards kin in a cannibalistic species.
Fouilloux CA, Fromhage L, Valkonen JK et al. · Behavioral ecology : official journal of the International Society for Behavioral Ecology · 2022-03 · open access
In juveniles extreme intraspecies aggression can seem counter-intuitive, as it might endanger their developmental goal of surviving until reproductive stage. Ultimately, aggression can be vital for survival, although the factors (e.g., genetic or environmental) leading to the expression and…
- Naive poison frog tadpoles use bi-modal cues to avoid insect predators but not heterospecific predatory tadpoles.
Szabo B, Mangione R, Rath M et al. · The Journal of experimental biology · 2021-12 · open access
For animals to survive until reproduction, it is crucial that juveniles successfully detect potential predators and respond with appropriate behavior. The recognition of cues originating from predators can be innate or learned. Cues of various modalities might be used alone or in multi-modal…
- Pool choice in a vertical landscape: Tadpole-rearing site flexibility in phytotelm-breeding frogs.
Fouilloux CA, Serrano Rojas SJ, Carvajal-Castro JD et al. · Ecology and evolution · 2021-06 · open access
Many species of Neotropical frogs have evolved to deposit their tadpoles in small water bodies inside plant structures called phytotelmata. These pools are small enough to exclude large predators but have limited nutrients and high desiccation risk. Here, we explore phytotelm use by three common…
- Effect of Manual Restraint and Visual Security on Heart Rate in Dyeing Poison Dart Frogs (Dendrobates tinctorius azureus) and Leopard Frogs (Lithobates pipiens)
Connor Jacobson, Grayson A. Doss, Taylor J. Yaw et al. · Journal of Herpetological Medicine and Surgery · 2021-03
- Visible implant elastomer (VIE) success in early larval stages of a tropical amphibian species.
Fouilloux CA, Garcia-Costoya G, Rojas B · PeerJ · 2020-08 · open access
Animals are often difficult to distinguish at an individual level, and being able to identify individuals can be crucial in ecological or behavioral studies. In response to this challenge, biologists have developed a range of marking (tattoos, brands, toe-clips) and tagging (banding, collars, PIT,…
- Conservation of Glomerular Organization in the Main Olfactory Bulb of Anuran Larvae.
Weiss L, Jungblut LD, Pozzi AG et al. · Frontiers in neuroanatomy · 2020-07 · open access
The glomerular array in the olfactory bulb of many vertebrates is segregated into molecularly and anatomically distinct clusters linked to different olfactory functions. In anurans, glomerular clustering is so far only described in Xenopus laevis . We traced olfactory projections to the bulb in…

DiRenzo GV, Chen R, Ibsen K et al. · PloS one · 2020-04 · open access
Introduction Natural systems are increasingly threatened by the emergence of highly virulent, infectious diseases. In recent years, an unprecedented number of fungal and fungus-like diseases have led to severe population declines and extinctions in natural systems as diverse as bats (white nose…
